Obidient Movement Urges Unity Ahead of NDC Primaries, Warns Against Internal Crisis 🗳️🇳🇬

The Obidient Movement Worldwide has called on all members and aspirants of the Nigeria Democratic Congress to remain disciplined and united as the party conducts its primaries ahead of the 2027 general elections.
